The current state of Crystal is basically a language for PoC during the week-end, it's far from being ready. I could go on about what's wrong with the language

  > The current state of Crystal is basically a language for PoC during the week-end, it's far from being ready. That is changing, earlier this year, the Crystal team are working on getting the language stable for 1.0 [0] Companies are already now using Crystal in production, most recently Nikola Motor Company [1]. Surely they wouldn't choose crystal if it was a 'half baked' language.

    You will always find someone somewhere picking up a language / framework and thinking it's production ready, from my experience Crystal is not ready and in the example you gave there is absolutly no reason to no use Rust. They needed C binding, and the fact that they started using Crystal years ago when the state was even worse is very worrisom.
